Surf Instructor Moliets Full Time Temporary

About Star Surf Camps

Star Surf Camps first opened more than 10 years ago and has grown significantly over the past years. Star Surf Camps focuses on giving guests a fantastic surf holiday experience, and making them feel like part of the surf family. Our guests range from families, to solo travellers and groups of friends (such as university groups or smaller friend groups) of all ages.

For summer 2021, we are recruiting staff for our camp in Moliets, France. At our camp, our international, multi-lingual guests come to experience the surf and yoga lifestyle through camping in our characteristic tipi tents. Moliets is our largest camp location, with a main camp (~150 guests per week) and the deluxe camp (~70 guests) on a camping site in the pine forest approx. 20 mins walk from the beach. Throughout the week, besides surfing, we offer lively entertainment, incl. wine & cheese nights, day trips to other towns, and sporty activities.
